Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day for meal prep or cooking. Not only that, but it’s hard to come up with new recipes! Instead of throwing in the towel ordering in, people with hectic schedules who still want to eat healthy can turn to meal delivery services.
Not everyone follows the same diet which is why many meal delivery services are now offering plant-based options. Many vegan companies have also entered the scene to fulfill this demand. To help decide which delivery service to choose, we’ve created a list of the top 7 in 2023…
Green Chef
Green Chef has built their brand around being eco-conscious and providing easy, flavorful recipes that are ready in 20 to 40-minutes. They use carefully sourced plant-based certified-organic ingredients that come pre-measured in baggies, ready for cooking. To reduce waste, everything is recyclable or in recycled packaging.
To start creating a box, select the vegan option. You’ll then select a size depending on how many people are eating, and choose from either three or four meals per week. The recipes along with their fresh ingredients are delivered weekly. The only downside is that vegan options are limited to 5 choices per week. A meal plan for two people costs $81 a week and includes three meals a day.
Daily Harvest
More commonly known for their amazing smoothies, Daily Harvest is also a fully plant-based and gluten-free meal delivery service. With more than 75 products delivered right to your front door, it’s a great option for people curious about trying a vegan diet or those who want to eat healthier without sacrificing deliciousness.
You get to choose between nine or 12 items that are delivered on a weekly basis, or 24 items monthly. Within these plans, customers select the meals they’d like (all of which are gluten-free and vegan). The nine meal plan is $72 while the 24 meals monthly is $175. You can also easily pause deliveries at any time.
Purple Carrot
A big selling point for Purple Carrot is their variety — not only with recipes but also meal forms and grocery items. For example, there is the option to cook with pre-portioned ingredients while following a recipe or enjoy pre-prepped meals that simply need to be reheated and served.
Purple Carrot serves any and every location in the U.S., aside from Alaska and Hawaii. You can receive weekly prepared meal plans (which include six meals for one person) for $78 or weekly meal kit plans (three meals a day for two people) for $80. This includes lunches and dinners, as well as plant-based breakfast and pantry items.
